The 2D view worked for me, and i would suggest making the pre-fetching of the images way more aggressive. And maybe the scrolling speed on mobile is too fast. On 2D i don't like that when i click a artwork it actually shows up smaller than before. Was it done on Unity 3D?

3D is Unity, 2D just css. I agree about the scrolling speed on mobile, thank you for you feedback :)

Both the 2D and 3D demo just gave me a colorful, pixelated static which is cool in itself but probably not the entire intended experience. But it looks kind of neat from the small looping video, is there also a way to full-screen the images?

I made a bash script to generate a static gallery from a directory of images if anyone is interested in that sort of solution https://github.com/DusteDdk/chromogen

I don't think this is all that useful for displaying 2D works of art. Perhaps if it was sculptures or if there was a high-res version of the painting with specular and depth maps that made sense to view in something other than a flat plane.

Great idea, and particularly interesting in these times of corona. Is there a way when wandering in this virtual museum to make the pieces of art appear bigger?

Curious, is this something people need? I like this idea a lot. I assume in the age of Instagram, you might want your own "space"?

Thank you for your feedback, it's a MVP with new features in progress :)

Nice idea which I will keep in mind, but execution is lacking. The demos didn't work.

it's embarrassing but .. museobit was offline for a couple of hours today :( (never happened before, now is fixed) :)

Great idea - long history with PG and viaweb. If it hosted NFT outbound links would be more compelling in current time? like linktree + gallery? (fwiw I sell my art and nfts.)
